I know not everyone’s a hat girl, that’s fair,
but I swear, a good chapeau can fix what you wear.
Jeans and a tee? Just fine, I agree
add a cool hat and it’s “who is she?”

Diane Keaton knew it and she made it an art,
boyish and polished, her hats had heart.

So in the spirit of Di and all her cool grace,
I asked three friends with impeccable taste
to tell me their favorites, the hats they adore,
and the styling tricks that make them love them more.

If you’ve ever stood hatless and unsure,
their answers might help you love them more.

Now pass the mic to these friends I adore,
whose hat game deserves a little encore:

Meet the Hat People

Amah
An incredible stylist with impeccable taste. She’s the founder and curator behind Foundbythe, where her design eye comes through in every detail.

Her take on fit, proportion, and why forehead shape deeply matters.
